I guess he didn't see the packets of ground venison.

[katiepie]

He passed all of the gorgeous, fresh produce and went to the bakery? Sounds like an American deer to me, lol.

[alkapal]

heck, katiepie, he can get that salad stuff directly from your yard! he's a deer on a mission! ( i love that he stood by the oven waiting).

[alkapal]

...and the store did not even give the poor deer a cookie!

geesh!

~~~~~~~~
a thought for those plagued by deer eating their gardens -- maybe hang some chocolate chip cookies on the opposite side of the yard. (do you think they'd want a glass of milk, too?).

~~~~~~~
and i now have a new bumper sticker "NO ANTLERS FOR COOKIES!"

"... but he saw the prices, said you people are freakin nuts, and went back to the woods."

Bambi 2: The Quest for Cookies

Actually I'm amazed that there's any wildlife larger than a squirrel in Norwood, but then again I'm in Blue Ash and there are coyotes around here.

<<As soon as they opened, he charged in, heading for the smell of baking chocolate chip cookies in the bakery section. "He was hanging out next to the oven waiting for the cookies to come out," said Scott Hartman, the store's manager.

In his rush to get to the bakery, the deer knocked over some cheese and cases of wine stacked on the floor, Norwood police said. He also bumped into a customer, who suffered a minor injury but waved off medical care, said Sgt. Lou Pauly. At some point, the deer knocked his antlers off.>>

I must confess I'd knock my own antlers off for some good chocolate chip cookies.

Ah, the lure of chocolate chip cookies! I had a dog who was a chocolate fiend (yes, I know chocolate is toxic to dogs, but only in relatively large quantities per kilo of body mass, anyway, it's not like I gave her the chocolate, she once chewed the corner off a drawer to get at the fudge inside). Toward the end of her life, she had to have on of her rear legs amputated, and we were worried she'd never be able to get up the stairs from the back yard into the house. But a few days after her surgery, my housemate called me to say that the dog had come up the back stairs on her own. Why? My housemate was baking chocolate chip cookies!

How I love a story with a happy ending--thanks for sharing that one! :)

[Scargod]

But they're so cute!

[kattyeyes]

Boy, I feel more like a deer in the headlights now (you evil man)! LOL!

[chowser]

I wonder how the customer was bumped into. I mean, can you miss a deer wandering in a store?

[kattyeyes]

I suspect that deer was traveling faster than the customer. Or maybe the customer was entranced by the baking cookies as well. ;)

[chowser]

LOL, if I saw a deer in a store, no matter what speed it was going, I'd steer clear. Maybe she was on a cell phone!

[kattyeyes]

Good point re the cell. See what can happen when you're not paying attention? ;)

[alkapal]

deer are big and deer are fast. it is unlikely if you were near the cookies you could've avoided being whacked as the deer rushed by. ;-).

[Ruth Lafler]

No kidding -- a deer once ran right by me, and there was definitely a lot force being created (force = mass x acceleration).

[thew]

steer clear. thats a joke
